Dermot Kennedy - Rome (Live / Vevo LIFT) 

RU-vid shouldn't accept dislikes on Dermot's videos without asking for explanation for the dislike and then checking it's validity.

Dermot Kennedy surely is one of the best musicians this generation has got to offer. Not only is his voice tremendously beautiful but also his songwriting incredibly good. Yet the final production always follows contemporary Zeitgeist the lyrics and melodies always feel timeless. Everything feels sincere. Feels real. Nostalgic yet hopeful. Poetic yet reliable. Cozy yet exciting. There's nobody like him. And as I saw him 3 times by now I can assure everyone that his concerts are a perfect mix of intimacy in his performance and a genuine feeling of togetherness. His music helped me a lot and I think you can find yourself and get lost in it simultaneously.

Didn’t think I’d be crying at 11 in the morning but here we are

He is at a full speed towards Grammy guys. Maybe not this year but definitely soon. This guy deserves it. 🖤

It's beautiful how he's not hiding his Irish accent.

Dude. I’ve loved Dermot for like 2 years and now that he finally put together a true studio album it’s everything I could’ve wanted. Old classics like an evening I will not forget and then all the new songs. Dermot you are a truly refreshing soul among music creators.

Sitting on a bench right now thinking will my life will get any better but when I hear this song makes me think things will get better all the people who going through bad time I know what you feeling but trust me thing will get better just got to keep thinking of the future and in time thing will fall in place in time

I am 50 years old, lived through the music of 80s and 90s and beyond, have listened to songwriters of all genres...... this guy is unimitable and uncomparable...... i really really can not think of anyone who can touch the heart like his words do and with a voice like that he is awesome.... been his fan since he was a cover youtube star and now he is a STAR himself. Kudos to you mate....

Isn’t it just crazy when people sit there and sing about, on video, the things you’re too afraid or scared to speak out about to even your closest friend? Much respect, helping me a lot.

One of my favorite things is how he changes his voice in different recordings and performances. It makes it unique each time and my favorite part in this one is 1:45-1:50 Sloww MOOOOTION

Do you think it's cool to make me cry

Dance carefree, I hope that’s easier, knowing me............ legend. These lyrics and the rhythm sync up so well in this song....underrated classic

I don’t know what to say. I am speechless because of how good this is.

I wish more artists like this were played more so people could see what music should be. And felt.

Strangely, I just heard this song on an Instagram post about making spring rolls. There was no credit given to the music but I was immediately transfixed by his voice, the melody, the lyrics. Shazam came up with it and here I am. Down the worm hole I go. What a gift.

This is definitely my favourite version of Rome. Light, space, piano and Dermot’s storytelling. Could listen to it endlessly.

One of my favourites from Dermot's album. "Midnight drives when you'd sing" ❤

do you ever cry bc a song tells a story so beautifully you feel everything the song is saying? this is that song

Why, just why is he so underrated??????? He is among the best out there. The voice without a doubt is amazing but his lyrics takes you to this whole new world. I die.

The whole song is incredible especially at 1:47 when he sings “slow motion” - the echo is just 👌🏻

POETIC!!! We just watched his SONDER concert last night in Las Vegas..WE LOVE YOU DERMOT KENNEDY!!! ❤SOULFUL & just simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Like a hurricane, but I dont care where I land. There is Something about that line..

Great artist, great voice, great EVERYTHING!!

For such a small island we certainly produce some serious talent 👌 Up The Dubs 💙💙💙💙💙

“So what’s the past for? I’ll need it if love don't last long, so you can run around infinite in my head.” I mean who would ever think that kind of lyrics?! Definitely one of my favorite songs on his new album. Hope he’d include Asia in his tours. Can’t wait for that to be happened.

Image the unique atmosphere in this venue while Dermot and Jonny performed.. I wish I had been there

Oh, the tear fall. Is this really what it's like being with a heart pulled man? I've been with one that only shows anger on the outside and is uncomfortable with everything else for too long if these make me cry. That soft, loving love...

Saw him in Houston at the beginning of the year and it was by far the best live performance I've ever been to. If he's playing close to you, drop everything and go.

i swear this is one of the most beautiful songs i´ve heard! Please come to norway🙏

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE THIS YEAR- 2019!!!!!

This song makes me so emotional, there are tears in my eyes every time I listen to it.

So, what's the past for? I'll need it if love don't last long You can run around infinite in my head Oh, you can't see, oh, I'd stay if you asked me Now you know I care, but it's hard to tell when you're scared But last night It hurt me to hear you say it felt broken And even though I tried All these memories run my mind in slow motion Do you remember when Midnight drives when you'd sing I'd play you songs you were in? I just want to be there again Do you remember when With Rome below us that day You said, "I wish we could stay"? I just want to be there again Remember that first laugh? All it changed once I had that Like a hurricane, but I don't care where I land So, dance carefree, I hope it's easier knowing me Now, your soul is yours, but I'll help it move if I can But last night It hurt me to hear you say it felt broken And even though I tried All these memories run my mind in slow motion Do you remember when Midnight drives when you'd sing I'd play you songs you were in? I just want to be there again Do you remember when With Rome below us that day You said, "I wish we could stay"? I just want to be there again Do you remember when? Oh Do you remember when? I don't ever wanna leave when you cry I know I give you reasons to hide I need you to stay by my side First shootin' star that you ever saw We were right on our feet though, right? Opening the car door for light I really thought I'd lose you that time Do you remember when Midnight drives when you'd sing I'd play you songs you were in? I just want to be there again Do you remember when With Rome below us that day You said, "I wish we could stay"? I just want to be there again Do you remember when? Oh Do you remember when? Do you remember when? Oh Do you remember when? Ooh, ah Ooh, ooh

Absolutely one of the best artists of 2024. And this generation

What’s so amazing about Dermot is that he sounds so uniquely the same live as well as in his edited songs. That takes pure talent.

This is just so mesmerising! I just disappeared into my screen and had a concert, just for me. Just stunning in every way.

I never heard Dermot's music until tonight. It was painfully beautiful. The young dancers on SO YOU THINK YOU CSN DANCE knocked it out of the ballpark! Yep, the words, the voice, the music and the interpretation by the dancers made me weep. Just amazing. I immediately searched for the song online and the artist, and listened to it again. I love how the video setting reminds me of Rome ruins with the arches. Very talented. I'm a fan for life! Thank you. ❤

I'm always crying to this song. This just means the world to me. He's brilliant, and it's the most beautiful song there ever was.

SYTYCD brought me here. Beautiful dance performed to such a beautiful song. Incredible voice. Just beautiful.

What an artist “You can run around infinite in my head”

Serendipity brought me here and blessed I am to have heard such beauty!

I recently lost my mum to lung cancer, she loved his crisp Irish voice. I never got the chance to take her to one of his concerts which I promised. His voice has a solid place in my soul.

one of the most powerful voices on the planet and writes amazing songs. You can feel the story he's telling. Get chills every time I hear "remember that first laugh, all it changed once I had that" and he has one or two of those lines every song.

I fell in love with music, his voice, his simplicity, not trying so hard with extreme production or anything, yet remaining powerful through his perfect storytelling in his songwriting and how anyone can relate to the songs in a way and moves to the core! I saw few of his interview, he is just a normal dude, low-key and humble, almost shy certain times as if he is out of his world and just wanting to make music that speaks to him and fame doesn't matter at all! I'm from Morocco and i will save every month until i could afford travelling to one of his upcoming shows! I truly hope to get the chance to witness your talent and feel the emotions your songs make me feel live!

How am I just listening to this for the first time??? I love the rasp in his voice it is so beautiful…and the lyrics are so well written 😍🤍🤍

Currently binge watching Dermot videos on youtube until the concert at the end of the month like a maniac.

Why does EVERY one of his songs brings me to tears??

That voice, that man, that Feeling! Makes me cry! Sure one of the best songs this year! 😭

I stumbled across this song in a friends IG story and my whole word changed. I now have another special artist to add to my very special artist list. Also, music is the one & only language that defies all odds and breaks all barriers.

His voice makes me so emotional with every song ❤

Danke für die tolle Musik 👍

My god, chills from the first notes he sings.

I listen to all types of music and I always would rather listen to Dermot. It leaves me speechless and lost in my own head.

There is no one better. No one 💯

“All these memories run my mind in slow motion” that line is amazing and the way he elevates his voice the second time he sings it. Amazing

This is perfection.

Would happily just listen to that on loop for hours on end. Glorious 👌❤️

I was a Bob Dylan freak back in NY when he was playing cafe's. The best way for me to comment on Dermot Kennedy- he equates to Dylan's soul with a much better singing voice.

He's an angel

I'd loved Dermot Kennedy for three or four years now, and I am so glad that he's got finally an album and got the attention he deserves. The emotions and messages his music and lyrics carries are the most intense ones I've ever heard. So thankful ❤️

Dermot, please stop. Stop being this ridiculously good.

I cannot believe that only this month I discovered this amazing guy's talent. What a musician and performer. Raw, emotional and the words resonate with you immediately. It's a great day to be Irish. Finally, we have a guy that will be as big as U2 in his own right. I am such a huge fan I did a tribute video of Dermot Kennedy on my own channel. And already its gaining momentum. I am not surprised. He's amazing. Next, for me is to see him LIVE and savor every moment.

Dermont Kennedy is on such a higher level than any other artist out right now. His songs are like beautiful poems come to life. How he's not the biggest artist in the world by now confounds me.

I can't honestly believe how fucking lyrically/emotionally intelligent he is. MAGIC! Food for the soul.

Who are these people giving him the thumbs down 😅😤 the man is a legend ❤

His voice is so amazing ❤️

Here after SYTYCD! Man, what a song!!!!!

He is srly the only artist I prefer listening to LIVE rather than the studio version 😍 Studio versions are mindblowingly good but his live version just hit different!

This man is a genius.

Never heard of this guy before, but HOLY CRAP am I glad I stumbled upon him!! WHAT A VOICE!! New fan here for sure!

What a beautiful Irish voice!!! Raw talent this guys got!!! Song writing skills are impeccable... definitely not getting enough exposure.. he will get there, he deserves it!!!

This is a crime, how can you be this good and not have 1,000,000,000+ views?! He has broken me... No one else compares.

Fave song on the album, this performance made me cry

Why does this song every time exude every emotion from my body mind and soul pure gold legend DK

I love you. I love all you create. You are someone I wish I have had met in high school and had life with now. You are my dream not coming true. You are amazing. Stay pure and stay true. Your biggest irish fan. God bless you Dermot ❤

If you listen to his music and don't get chills, go see a doctor because you are dead....

Dermot Kennedy on repeat over and over again never get sick of listening to you.. Just another few weeks to see you in dublin.. Seen you in Manchester in may past.. unreal talent..👌👌

Soooo pretty. His voice is so powerful. Touch our souls. I really love his work. So talented. Kisses from Portugal and Brazil 💜💜💜

I don't know why but this made me cry. Nothing but love for this boy x

why is everybody ignoring the fact that he sounds better live

Thank you Dermot for making an irreplaceable memory on 2020 March evening in North Carolina. I was there with a woman that introduced me to your songs. I love her so much, still, even though I ruined it perhaps permanently. I wasn’t in the right state of mind, but that is never the excuse. I cannot win her trust by asking for another chance now. I do not deserve it even though I want it. I am however working on myself and I will keep working on myself for several years to show her that I can consistently be the best version of myself. I hope you keep being inspired and write and sing the masterpieces like this, filled with soul and heart because I will give my all to win her back when the time is right and I want your songs to be there for that moment. Antonio

What a beautiful song and what a raw voice! Absolutely talent!

I seen this incredible talented guy twice last year unreal singer song writer and what a voice...

How does he convey all that emotion and not burst

Makes you want to hold on to that one person and not let go

Stunning song, Sends chills down my spine, makes me think of my wonderful wife"I never wanna leave when you cry I know I give you reasons to hide, I need you to stay by my side" 👌👌👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Pure class. And the very end whooooo who x

Can't get enough of this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you sir

This deserves 1 billion views....

Thanks dermot for helping me in ways you could never taught possible, hearing your words give me strength, literally the strength to except myself and life you are saveing alot of people brother thank you

This stuff is so much better than the over produced album stuff. I haven’t heard an album version beat a live version and what he is doing isn’t easy

Such a beautiful voice. So much sorrow! So much emotion!

Love you so much ❤️❤️❤️ From TURKEY 🇹🇷 🇹🇷🇹🇷

He deserves more recognition, so talented ❤

every single song touch my soul ❤️

Never bin so proud to be an Irish man ,u have my respect , God bless chunky our law

I hope the show at red rocks stays on, man I would love to hear you up there

Now, this is music.

He has the best male voice at this moment in time. Hope he does stuff just like this. He and a guitar or piano. All that’s needed

Magical. Dermot Kennedy writes / sings the soundtrack of my soul... Thank you💙

All of his songs are awesome, but this is my absolute favorite.. Going to see him play tonight in Raleigh. He's a lyrical genius.. ✌

I don't think this dude knows how to write a bad song. Good Lord he's awesome
